Flutterfire: [cloud_firestore] no visible @interface for 'FIRQuery' declares the selector ...

Created on 5 Dec 2019 · 16Comments · Source: FirebaseExtended/flutterfire

I have repeatedly failing to build the app in Flutter for iOS. then tried with a fresh new app with just a simple line of dependency and now it is completely not possible to build.

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter


  cupertino_icons: ^0.1.2
  cloud_firestore: ^0.12.11`

Here is the output of the error reported in Android Studio

Hi @mamunur34
can you please provide your updated flutter doctor -v
and your flutter build --verbose?
Also, to better address the issue, would be helpful
if you could post a minimal code sample
or the steps to reproduce the problem.
Thank you

I had same issue, this command fixed it. I think latest cloud_firestore package has some versioning issues.

I've got the same problem, but got it working by going to the ios directory and asking an update of the pods related to firebase/firestore:

cd ios

pod update Firebase/Firestore

cd ios and run pod update Firebase/Firestore and run build command

sorry, just saw now your answer

I solved. Start to run for iOS after following command.

cd ios
pod update Firebase/Firestore
rm -rf Pods

Hi @mamunur34
does the solution proposed by @hukusuke1007 solves you issue?
thank you

iapicca on 12 Dec 2019

this solved my problem

orestesgaolin on 12 Dec 2019

This fixed the issue for me! I didn't have to remove the ios/Pods. I just ran pod update Firebase/Firestore

davydany on 20 Dec 2019

cd ios
pod update Firebase/*
rm -rf Pods

Seems to be a catch-all fix, the asterisk will also update any other firebase
libraries that may be causing an issue

First off, I tried 'flutter clean' & 'flutter run' but that didn't help. Tried 'flutter pub get', after that I tried to run the app again, which failed. Same after doing 'flutter upgrade'. So I wasn't able to build the iOS version of my app as well, the following steps fixed it for me:

Deleting Podfile from iOS folder (both Podfile & Podfile.lock)
Run the app, it will fail building for iOS.
Just to be sure, I ran 'Pod install' inside the iOS folder. I ended up with some errors I believe.
Open xcode, open the iOS project and go to File -> workspace settings, now change Build System from 'New Build System' to the legacy option.
Tried to run the Flutter app again. It failed. But worth a try, might work for you.
Go to the iOS folder in the terminal again and run 'pod update'
Got no errors this time, pod seems to be updated fine. Ran the app again and it worked for me.
Go back to step 4, change it back the New Build System. The app should still work fine. Perhaps step 4 was unnecessarily after all 😕

My steps are not super clear. I, like any other developer, was just trial and erroring to fix the issue. The above steps helped me getting my app to run again on iOS. Hope it might help anyone else.

I believe the steps suggested by the other people here helped me too with OP's error, however at some point my error messaging came from the pod updater and it was something about my google_maps dependency (https://pub.dev/packages/google_maps_flutter). The 'pod update' simply fixed that too.

Hey, as part of our on-going work for #2582, this has been resolved in our Firebase Firestore rework (#2913) (cloud_firestore podspec now explicitly sets a version of the Firebase iOS SDK that it depends on) - which has now been merged into master. We'll look at publishing some prereleases in the next few days. Thank you
